The AI vessel, which will emulate the Mayflower's voyage, is being built by a U.K.-based team, with help from tech firm IBM.
The Mayflower Autonomous Ship, also known as MAS, will launch from Plymouth in the U.K. in September of next year.

The ship is being built by ProMare, a non-profit corporation and public charity that promotes marine research and exploration throughout the world's oceans.
